Jheranie Boyd signs with Tampa Bay

Posted May 6, 2013
After an injury-plagued senior senior season at UNC, Jheranie Boyd wasn’t drafted by a NFL team last month. That doesn’t mean Boyd won’t get his NFL chance. Boyd was signed to a free agent contract Monday by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A 6-foot-2, 190-pounder, Boyd is a speedy wide receiver who caught 44 passes for 860 yards and 13 touchdowns in his four-year Tar Heels’ career. (Gaston Gazette)
